Hi guys,

do you know a good and privacy friendly way to pay with your phone (like Google Pay)? I am using Graphene OS on a Pixel 8 and lice in Germany so some services might not be available here 🙈

I guess you could keep your phone in a faraday bag and take it out when you need to make a payment. But then you'd be liable to be charged any time you have your phone out, unless you go out of your way to remove the card from the case, which defeats the point.

Kinda defeats the purpose of a phone...unless you want to only be contacted/updated at some interval you actively choose
